Half a bottleI bought this today and its half empty, I actually thought they'd mistakenly given me one that they'd been using in store but the seal has not been broken! I wouldn't have spent £26 on it if I'd have known that

SubtleI use this mixed with my tinted moisturiser to give a glow. I'm really happy with the tone.

The perfect highlightI am a fan on Nars and especially the liquid illuminators. I have the orgasm, hot sand and BLKR illuminators. My favourite is BLKR as it has a gorgeous creamy sheer touch to it that makes dull or tired skin look radiant. I have medium ish skin tone (I'm Japanese) and thought Hot Sand would be my perfect match but after getting BLKR i can say it's my fave! It's not as strong of a statement as Copacabana and has a soft gold touch to it. I highly recommend for any skin tones! I bought two just in case as a back up!

Holy grailThis is such a good highlighter/Illuminator. I use it on all my clients and it leaves everyone with a beautiful warm and healthy glow. It is very portable so I am able to bring this everywhere with me. I would definitely recommend as it is so good for the price! I am currently on my 5th one and it never gets old! All my customers love it and I can see why! I have medium/olive skin and it still looks gorgeous. You can also select multiple shades which is extremely impressive! A must buy!
